Delgiata Panel Van—This is a little Ferrari-based "van" I chopped several years ago, as a delivery van for my art! The base photo was a Ferrari 599, but I shortened the hood a LOT as my version would be propelled by a 4-cylinder hybrid engine. This little wagon was the latest model in my own car company, Delgiata, which I created when I was about 10-years old. I was reminded today of this older chop, when I checked out Autoblog's Geneva 2011 coverage. Ferrari is showing a white FF, its new four-wheel drive Shooting Break, click here.
It would also look cool to see a Fiat 500 panel van, imagine that being part of the fleet line up for your company?
ReplyDeleteI ABSOLUTELY LOVE this shooting brake! Much to nice to be called a "van". Let's find a manufacturer to build it! It's like the best of a Pontiac Soltice and a Dodge Magnum. I want one!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of a small van. I've disappointed in the Ford Transit Connect -- it's cute but it lacks style. I like Px's idea of a Solstice based van -- your chop really has the stance of a Solstice. I always wondered what a Volvo P1800, the sportwagon version, would look like as a sedan delivery. Sedan delivery is a niche crying out to be filled!

I think the Vega had the last true sedan delivery. Pinto had a "cruising wagon" but it was trimmed more like a van with a bubble window in the back.
ReplyDeleteI forgot all about the Vega Sedan Delivery. That was a very handsome car. To bad about teh mechanicals!

If I ruled the world (cue Tears for Fears), all sedans would be wagons, and all two-doors would have shooting brake versions. This is coooooooool.
